Desperate Schemes of Desperate
Prisoners In the Chicago Jail.

CHICAGO, Dec. 10-The officials in the
county Jail are in almost a frenzy of fear and
uncertainty over disclosures regarding the
surreptitions possession of contraband arti-
cles by the prisoners. The finding of the
bombs in Linng's cell has never been traced
to its depth. Neither has the person been
discovered who furnished the several doses
of poison taken by George Engle.
Saturday last 44-calibre revolver and ov-
er 100 cartridges were found in the cell of
Michael Lynch, who shot and killed Officer
William S. Halloran in July last, and last
evening it was learned that the latter discov-
cry prevented the carrying out of q well de-
fined plot to liberate half dozen of the
worst criminals in the Jail.
Immediately on the finding Of the revolver
and ammunition Lynch was taken from his
cell and placed in solitary confinement for
over 100 hours, manacled to the cell door and
fed on bread water. All details have been
suppressed by the Jail officials, but 1t is
known that the plan was to arm Lynch and
a number of other prisoners. and getting
them into the lawyers cage on some pre-
tense have them all make combined break

Beneficent Results OF a Prominent

HALLowELL, Dec. II. - The Industrial
School for girls at Hallowell is in excellent
condition and the past year, more than ever,
has demonstrated the wisdom of maintain
ing it and giving it necessary financial sup

256 girls have been admitted, and it is esti-
mated that fully 80 per cent of those who
have gone out from the school have proved
to be women Of character and respectability,

bad. People in criticising an institution Of
this kind are liable to base their judgment
on one incorrigible girl who was past re-
redemption, rather than form their opinions
from the aggregated results. At the present
time, the inmates number about sixty, there
being majority in the new building There
haye been no deaths and but small amount
of sickness. An appropriation of $1,000 for
improvements was made by the last Legisla-
ture, and a wooden structure 24x36 feet and
two stories in height has been erected just
north OF and adjacent to the new building. A
new windmill has also been built for the pur-
pose of increasing the water supply. Other
minor improvements have also been made.

PROBABLE END OF THE RATES WAR.
The prospect of an early settlement OF
the controversy over dressed meats between
the Grand Trunk of Canada and the Amer
lean associated lines is Frightening. The
Grand Trunk has agreed to make no further
cuts. and meeting of the trunk line presi-
dents has been called for noxt Tuesday to
take up the subject. 1t is probable that at
the conference General Manager Hickson OF
the Canadian road will be present, as the
slashing of rates started after his failure to
attend the last meeting OF the presidents
mas not helped the Grand Trunks revenues
nor improved its position on principle. The
issue will finally 60 to arbitration probably
